Be nice to people… 
maybe it’ll be unappreciated, unreciprocated, or ignored, 
but spread the love anyway. 
We rise by lifting others. 
Germany Kent

Our world needs 
more loving hearts. 
Avijeet Das






Don’t just be yourself.

I heard a bird sing
in the dark of December.
A magical thing. And
sweet to remember.
We are nearer to Spring than
we were in September.
I heard a bird sing in
the dark of December.

A pink sky welcomes
beauty, joy, & promise.
A pink sky makes my
hopeful heart sing!
Cloudia




Cultivating goodwill 
isn't just about 
giving to others
—it's about giving 
to yourself, too. 
When we treat ourselves 
with kindness, we create 
a benevolent mindset that 
fuels our ability to spread joy 
and connection to 
those around us.
Kristin Neff




We all need fresh starts. That's why the sun comes up everyday. A. Nony Mouse





 Do not be afraid of defeat.
 you are never 
so near victory 
as when  defeated 
in a good cause.
Henry Ward Beecher




 Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great. Mark Twain

Pliable Is Growing

A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U


Grateful hearts truly love. 
Grateful hands reach out. 
Grateful eyes see generations. 
Grateful minds imagine big ideas 
like justice, peace, and health. 
Our world needs no less 
than grateful living.
Katie Steedly Curling









Nothing we learn 
in this world is 
ever wasted.
Eleanor Roosevelt





See the shadow eater?

Experiencing new things 
is the best way to keep the 
mind young, pliable and growing
— into our 80s, 90s and beyond.
Daniel J. Levitin
Neuroscientist and author 




Small background smile
I pledge to care
To be aware But I promise myself Never to despair. Though shadows may whisper And storms may declare Threats to unsettle To shake, rend, and tear—
Yet I stay in the center My roots planted there.

This Road Together

A L O H A  From

Find a place
where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain. Joseph Campbell



There is no envy,
jealousy, or hatred
between the different
colors of the rainbow.
And no fear either.
Because each one exists
to make the others’ love
more beautiful. Aberjhani

What Matters: People

A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U


Every day one should
at least hear one little song,
read one good poem,
see one fine painting and
-- if at all possible --
speak a few
sensible words.
Goethe




These single-wall Hawaii bungalows
are a beautiful aspect of our
local built environment. I love
these little Hale
("Hah - Lay" - Hawaiian word
for a house/home) Link




When storms descend 
and shadows fall,
We stand together, 
one and all

Hands joined tightly, 
hearts beat strong
Showing kindness 
is where we belong

Comfort flows 
like gentle light
Healing hearts, 
making futures bright

In darkness, 
we'll hold hope's true song
Helping those affected
To get along.
Pixie






There is always something 
to be grateful for, even 
when life is hard and 
times are tough.

Hate leaves ugly scars,
Love leaves beautiful ones.

The world turns
on the prayers of crones, That follow grandchildren
wherever they roam. During the most dangerous
times of their life, Grannies' angels are there,
isn't that nice!
